Companies across the globe, and especially in the U.S., are beginning to reconsider the geographic footprint of their manufacturing operations. Geopolitical factors, transportation costs, and narrowing of the labor cost divide make localization more advantageous than in the past. The trend is even...

Wireless 5G cellular communications networks are gobbling up bandwidth as people use more and more mobile data. Unfortunately, some of the frequency bands near 5G spectrum are already used at C-band by radar altimeters on commercial and military aircraft. Fortunately, Benchmark Lark has a solution...

It's no secret that companies that manufacture or source electronic products in the United States stand to gain tremendously from increased public spending by the federal government. From national defense to national security and transportation to telecommunications, the U.S. government is poised...

Frequency spectrum has long been taken for granted, from the early days of tuning an amplitude-modulated (AM) radio to a favorite sports or news program to making a call on a mobile telephone. Communication happens because radio waves travel across the air from sources to destinations without...

Have you considered geographic footprint in your engineering and outsourcing manufacturing strategy?

While evaluating outside vendors to engineer or manufacture a product, one of the most obvious needs to be considered is whether they have the capabilities required to build it. This can include ...
